    If you asked Nuno or any of his players how would Liverpool score, they'd never have said from a set-piece.

    It's a great header. Jordan Henderson runs deep and wants to win that header. He's committed. It looked like it went off his shoulder but he was determined to win that.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold has got everything. He has the world at his feet. He's only going to get better.

    Jordan Henderson

    This is something you don't see often...

    Jordan Henderson scoring a header! (He actually connects with his shoulder).

    Trent Alexander-Arnold whips a decent corner in and Henderson gets there first, powers his way through the defence and heads/shoulders it in.

    Captain's contribution.

    BBC Sport chief football writer at Molineux

    Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is standing with arms outstretched gesturing for his players to get the ball out wide every time they are in possession.

    And with a weapon of such power in Adama Traore who can blame him?

    Colin: Traore has had a haircut. Bad news for Liverpool. Less wind resistance - the human greyhound will be even faster.

    JP: Adama Traore has had a haircut. He'll be light headed during the match. Good news for Liverpool.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold's curling effort flicks off the wall and out for a corner. Not his best.

    Conor Coady blocks off Mohamed Salah's run on the edge of the box and now Liverpool have a free-kick in a very good position...

    Will Trent Alexander-Arnold or Salah take it?

    That free-kick was a striker's dream. It was a great ball from Neto, it went right across the six-yard box. I would have gobbled that up.

  9. CLOSE!published at 5 mins

    Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

    Pedro Neto takes it, whipping a low ball across the six-yard box which comes all the way through to the back post.

    I think it was Matt Doherty looking to poke it in but a combination of Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk scramble it away.

    Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

    Adama Traore plays a nice ball in down the left. Joe Gomez thinks he's fouled by Jonny but play is waved on.

    Liverpool can only half clear it before Jonny is then bundled over by Trent Alexander-Arnold. Free-kick for Wolves.

    It's a night you want to play football with the atmosphere, nights like this.

    It looks like Wolves are playing Pedro Neto in behind Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore.

    Wolves 0-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool immediately start whipping it around the middle. Jordan Henderson, to Trent Alexander-Arnold and one of those trademark diagonals over to his opposite full-back.

    Joe Gomez then looks for Mohamed Salah down the line but the Egyptian won't reach it.

    I think they have an outside chance. It's Chelsea's to lose.

    The thing that might stop Wolves is how many Europa League games they have. But they're capable. They've got 14 really good players. They've got to keep most of their first 11 fit. It's crucial they do some transfer business in January.

    Liverpool forward Sadio Mane: "For sure, we achieved things and we want to achieve more and big things with this club. We want to win trophies – Premier League, Champions League again, which won't be easy, we all know that.

    "But what you have seen in these last few years, everything is possible and we can do it and do it again. We just need to be hungry in a good way and push ourselves until the end.

    "When we lost the Champions League final against Real Madrid, I think from that, everything changed and we said to ourselves, 'It's possible."

    Everything about Wolves is impressive - their head coach Nuno Espirito Santo, their style of play and their threat going forward. They are a very skilful outfit.

    Do I think they are going to be the team to end Liverpool's long unbeaten run? Not quite, because Wolves are not brilliant at home, but this is still the Reds' most difficult game for a long time - and I am going for a draw here.

    Prediction: 1-1

    Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BT Sport: "When you perform well you go from zero to getting a result, it gives you confidence.

    "Don't concede early! We have to play. It's a fantastic team. The idea is what we have been building since the beginning when we were in the Championship - develop and keep going.

    "For sure, Molineux will be behind us."
